@swardley As for the strategy — I don't know how they do it without the concepts, so blind

dX: Do you teach mapping? Me: Occassionaly. I'm giving a lecture at LSE. Why? dX: Can you use maps for strategy? Me: Of course but oodles of benefit can be gained from just understanding the space, challenging what is being done, using the right methods etc. dX: But you teach strategy? Me: No. dX: Why not? Me: Ok, I help some but I don't run a course on strategy. It's hard. dX: Why? Me: The field tends to be male dominated with strong beliefs, and to be blunt I find that very few have the temperament, clarity and acuity needed. It's not an easy thing to do, so I prefer to teach the basics. dX: But maps will help? Me: Maps are useful, there's a lot that can be done with them. However, there's a world of difference between seeing the chessboard and being able to play the game. I find it's good enough that people can see the board.

@swardley The space you created for mapping is amazing. I can't wardleymap, but so many insights coming just from the space. I can't give a deep talk without at least drawing the evolution axis with the four stages — even if it's a talk about teaching ))

Love books that say it all right on the cover. Remember ‘‘Never Eat Alone’’? This one by @juliovincent also has amazing chapter name — ‘How to Unsubscribe From Work’. Haven't read, love it :)

I’ve been twice through dark times in my career when I had no idea what’s next. I solved both by making lists of what I don’t wanna do. Painful shit! You feel like “There’s nothing left” and “How dare I?”. Then you see the only thing left — and that may be THE thing. Easy-peasy

Hate it when they say “Go AFTER something, not FROM something”. I guess they mean if you run away you can come to a place that’s even worse. But by this they make you cut off half of the signals, that can eventually lead you to the right place

Reality can be drawn out of many dots (points of view). And if you don’t deliver your point sharp enough, you fail to add your part of “the whole picture”.

“Point of view” is called a “point” for a reason. It’s not a “spot of view”, not an “area of view”. So why do they blame sharp opinions for not considering the whole complexity?

When they say: “Help us execute on this dream project”, I say “I have many dream projects to execute. Why would I start with yours?”

Hey, twitter! I’m back. Now streaming from Armenia. Trying to figure out how to re-build my business for the international audience. And how to make the English speaking community like me 😌

As a result, no one really sees that if we don’t stop those who bully, the school shootings are going to happen all over the world. It’s not enough to bury the aggressive guy, kids 😔

Funny thing about other students in class. They know that it’s not that simple (please read the professor in the 1st post of thread), they know there was bullying, but support the black and white narrative for the rest of the world.

Now hear me say it. This logic is wicked: If ‘children of Africa‘ are now feeling even worse than you, you suffering is not important. It is! You can and should talk about it! So people of Russia, yes, you can say how hard it is to you now.

Another burst-out happened on the first zoom meeting of the course that I got long ago. It started today, we were introducing ourselves. And one of the girls couldn’t hold her tears. No need for ice-breaking, we are so pressured, that the question ‘‘How are you?’’ triggers crying

Every Russian I know is now terribly pressured. I see how they suffer more then any time before in their lives. But they don’t allow themselves to talk about their suffering, because they know — there are people who suffer much more now.

So I tried (through pain) to see both sides’ points of view. I haven’t really changed my mind about Putin. But it helped me see the complexity. There were interesting findings like this video with American congressman saying the US would probably act the same as Putin —

Yesterday I read a tweet saying Germans are to blame in this war. I was shocked how a wounded mind oversimplifies, trying to find the guilty one. I thought — what if my mind is playing the same game? Putin is a mad dictator — is it too simple to be true? I started to search
